Abstract:
The Guest Editors provide an overview of the papers appearing in this issue of the Journal of Trauma and Dissociation. Freud's opus with its emphasis on fantasy while appreciated as a vital contribution to the establishment of psychoanalysis, essentially "dissociates" the effect of exogenous trauma on the dissociative structure of the mind. The Guest Editors argue that the papers in the current issue support the idea that exogenous trauma and the resulting dissociative structuring of the mind play a significant role in the development of psychopathology.
